| 1208453 | 2011-06-12 04:13:00 | I am trying to publish a website for my sister. She had a previous setup made for her that was Joomla, but i decided to start from scratch and build a new html based website. To publish this website, all I should have to do is have the index.html page first in the directory structure right? It is like -- index.html about.html etc etc ---- images heading.png so in the FTP there is just the html documents and then another folder containing images. When going to the website via web browser i get a 404 error saying forbidden. Can anyone help me publish this website? Thanks |

| 1208455 | 2011-06-12 04:20:00 | It is just a local company. I put the folders and files into a new directory called public_html but still an error. hmmm |

| 1208457 | 2011-06-12 04:25:00 | Can you get to it by using the full path (domain/index.html)? | Greven (91) | ||
| 1208458 | 2011-06-12 04:36:00 | I can view the website if I go ftp://username@www.xxxxxx.co.nz/index.html After I have logged into the FTP via web browser. But if i go to www.xxxxxx.co.nz/index.html I get Not Found The requested URL /index.html was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I am using FileZilla to upload files to the FTP. |

| 1208460 | 2011-06-12 08:08:00 | hey if you haven't sorted this out yet, PM me and I'll take a look at it for you | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208461 | 2011-06-12 11:20:00 | Take a look which directories are within your root folder, after you FTP in. You might need to place the files within one of those. Maybe contact the web host and ask where the files need to be? Also note that index.html is a common default page, but this is not necessarily true on every server. Based on getting a 404 error page when you type domain/index.html though suggests you're not putting the files in the right place. |

| 1208462 | 2011-06-12 12:04:00 | Usually "public_html" is the folder where all your files go, your home page being "index.html", and your images etc go into sub-folders. Any folders etc in the Root are for the server administration and should not be altered. Your provider issues you with a User name & Password for FTP access. I use FTP-95, came out with Windows 95, easy to use and runs on any Windows 32bit system. |
